MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Content How to organise your library? I use Calibre because Kindle's collections are useless

I also use my kindle in read-only mode and am not using amazon's web page. I've been downloading public domain books and have gone a bit gonzo and have nearly 2,500 now.

The way I'm managing things is by using Calibre's catalog gizmo. It generates an ebook that's a list of your books by your criteria. It's under the Convert Books (brown) button.

I generate 3 different catalogs: by author, by title, and by series. So far I'm having to generate those 3 catalogs manually and also have to manually change the name it gives them. If anyone knows how to automate that I'd love to hear about it; I'd like to have it generate all of the catalogs I've set up with 1 click.
